EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Honourable Artillery Company (H.A.C.) Reserves in training during World War One, at their Camp en Route on the grounds essential for battle preparation in 1916. The image showcases a group of determined soldiers, focused on their exercises, as they hone their skills in the art of warfare. The Honourable Artillery Company, a distinguished and historic regiment in the British Army, was formed in 1537. During the Great War, the Reserves played a crucial role in providing trained personnel to reinforce the depleted ranks of the British Army. In this photograph, we see soldiers from the H.A.C. Reserves engaged in various training activities, including the loading and firing of artillery pieces, drills, and route marches. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and armed with rifles, appear both disciplined and resolute. Their expressions convey a sense of purpose and determination, as they prepare for the challenges they will face at the Front. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men during the First World War, as they answered the call to defend their country and protect the freedoms we cherish today. The Honourable Artillery Company's commitment to training and readiness was evident in their preparations, as they ensured their Reserves were well-equipped and well-versed in the essential requirements for battle. This photograph serves as a testament to their dedication and the unwavering spirit of the British military during a time of great adversity.
